Title: Inorganic fiber substrates for exhaust systems and methods of making same
Inventor: WOOD THOMAS E
IPC: B01D39/14
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: A method for rigidifying a fiber-based paper substrate for use in the exhaust system of a combustion device. In the method, a green ceramic fiber-based paper substrate is impregnated with an impregnating dispersion. The impregnated substrate is then dried, calcined and fired to form a rigidified substrate that is suitable for use in the exhaust system of a combustion device. This rigidification process is performed at least once and, preferably, two or more times. The green paper substrate comprises two or more sheets of green ceramic fiber-based paper, with at least one creased sheet and another sheet being a laminated together to form a plurality of tubular channels. The rigidified substrate comprises refractory ceramic fibers in the form of a ceramic fiber-based paper and agglomerates of ceramic particles. The ceramic particle agglomerates are bonded to and disposed so as to thereby bond together the refractory ceramic fibers at spaced locations along and at intersections of the refractory ceramic fibers so that the refractory ceramic fibers retain much of their original flexibility while in the paper.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour transmettre de gros volumes de données par l'intermédiaire d'une interface asynchrone dans un circuit à redondance de type contrôleur-maître. Selon l'invention, la transmission des données s'effectue en fonction du type et du volume de données à transmettre, selon différents cycles de transmission, dont le déroulement est fixé et réalisé au moyen d'automates d'états finis (FSM) des deux côtés de l'interface. Ces FSM peuvent commander la prise en charge des données sur des bus de données dont le nombre et la largeur sont aléatoires. Sur chacun de ces bus, les données sont maintenues de façon stable du côté sortie jusqu'à ce qu'elles puissent être prises en charge de manière sûre du côté entrée. Ce concept permet de transmettre un nombre aléatoire de données à chaque cadence suivante jusqu'à ce que le cycle soit achevé.

Abstract: In order to melt down aluminium in an oven, a method is known whereby a starting material containing aluminium is supplied to an oven, is pre-heated in an upper region of the oven by means of oven flue gas, and is then heated by means of a burner, in order to form an aluminium melt, in a lower region of the oven. An oxygen-rich gas and fuel are supplied to the burner, producing a burner flame acting on the starting material in the melting region and contributing to the formation of the oven flue gas. On the basis of the above, the aim of the invention is to provide a method using an oxygen burner or a mixed burner, whereby the disadvantages in terms of the re-heating of the aluminium starting material are avoided. According to the invention, the oven flue gas is extracted from the upper region of the oven and is reintroduced into the lower region, at least partially, as recirculated, heated gas.

Abstract: A differential PIN diode attenuator (450) that selectively attenuates a
differential analog input signal. The two parts of the differential signal are applied
to separate input lines (452, 454) and are 180° out of phase with each other.
One input line (452) is coupled to a first attenuation path (456) including a
resistor and a first non-attenuation path (458) including a PIN diode (462). The
other input line (454) is coupled to a second attenuation path (466) including a
resistor and a second non-attenuation path (468) including a PIN diode (472).
The diodes (462, 472) are biased by a DC bias signal so that the differential
analog signal can bypass the attenuation paths (456, 466). The DC bias signal is
applied halfway between the input lines (452, 454) where the two parts of the
differential signal cancel. A shunt diode (490, 492,) and parallel shunt resistors
are provided in combination with the attenuation resistor to allow it to have a
relatively small value.

Abstract: A virtual address bar user interface control is presented. The virtual address bar
includes a plurality of interactive segments, each segment corresponding to a predetermined
filter for selecting content in a computer file system. Collectively, the interactive segments
represent a virtual address for selecting content. Selecting an interactive segment in the
virtual address bar causes those segments subsequent to the selected segment to be removed
from the virtual address bar. A user may select a peer filter for a segment to replace that
segment's current filter and removes those segments subsequent to the updated segment. The
virtual address bar can be selectively configured to operate as a conventional address bar,
and reconfigured to operate as a virtual address bar. Additional filter segments are added to
the end of the existing filter segments. Those existing filter segments that conflict with the
added segment are removed from the virtual address bar.

Abstract: In a printing system, a controller defines identification information for identifying a plurality of paper feed cassettes provided in a printing machine for each of the paper feed cassettes. When an operator specifies a paper feed cassette for feeding a sheet for printing of an image represented by print data, the controller stores a correspondence between the print data and the specified paper feed cassette. Based on the correspondence, the controller combines the identification information assigned to the paper feed cassette corresponding to the print data with the image represented by the print data to create a preview image, and then displays the preview image. Prior to the execution of the printing, the operator can thereby easily recognize which paper feed cassette stores the sheet on which the image represented by the print data is to be printed.

Abstract: Antiperspirant actives that produce practically no visible white residue, even
against a black background is provided by the reduction of the particle size, using a
refractive index modifier, to a point where the antiperspirant active on application
provides no discernible whiteness. 
     When formulated into an antiperspirant stick, the antiperspirant actives produce
an improved combination of functional properties, including excellent antiperspirancy,
smooth skin feel, nontacky, quick drying and leave no visible residue. 
     The exceptionally high surface area of the antiperspirant active results in rapid
and efficient delivery of the active to the sweat glands and possible absorption. The
absence or reduced quantity of suspending and flow enhancing agents, of gellant and
surfactant, is believed to improve the antiperspirant active's ability to physically reach
the sweat glands and improve efficacy.

Abstract: An electronic control module provides dual insulation layers between an
internal line voltage and a separate tool housing that serves as a heat sink, thereby
allowing versatility in mounting the electronic control module within the tool housing
interior, and thereby also eliminating the risk of electrical shock to a user making
contact with an exterior tool housing surface. The control module includes a power
device, connected to a line voltage, and a thermal pad. The power device provides a
first layer of electrical insulation between the line voltage and an external tab of the
power device while the thermal pad provides a second layer of electrical insulation.
The combined first and second layers provide a minimum amount of electrical
insulation between the line voltage and the tool housing thereby preventing electrical
shock. Alternatively, the thermal pad is provided between the control module and the
tool housing.

barrier layer (23) constructed of a low thermal conductivity material, bonded
between a first deflector layer (22) and a second deflector layer (24), both of
which are constructed of electrically resistive materials having substantially equal
coefficients of thermal expansion. The thermal actuator further comprises a first
pair of electrodes (42, 44) connected to the first deflector layer and a second pair
of electrodes (46, 48) is connected to the second deflector layer for applying
electrical pulses to cause resistive heating of the first or second deflector layers,
resulting in thermal expansion of the first or second deflector layer relative to the
other. Application of an electrical pulse to either pair of electrodes causes
deflection of the cantilevered element away from its first position and, alternately,
causes a positive or negative pressure in the liquid at the nozzle of a liquid drop
emitter. Application of electrical pulses to the pairs of is used to adjust the
characteristics of liquid drop emission. The barrier layer exhibits a heat transfer
time constant τ B . The thermal actuator is activated by a heat pulses of duration τ P 
wherein τ P  < ½ τ B .
